If Parse did not align with FB's core there where other options than shutting it down (sell, split-off, turn it into a foundation, etc) but the fact that they just closed like that, disregarding its thousands of users, dropping tons of labor and cash, seems more of a signal of what exactly is going on behind the wall. My take is that services like Parse empower small shops/tiny startups and that is exactly what goes against FB's all-involving growth/power strategy. Maybe React will be like that too: so you want to develop FB (or Whatsapp) apps? You MUST use React... We'll see how this plays out.
